There's a Jessica Smith workout video on YouTube called Cardio Ball Ballet. I use a Darth Vader Head Plushie instead of a ball.

I'm being a good little bacon. Did have a bit of a wobble Sat. Ate too much based upon a booze decision. I know I've needed to cut out the whiskey for awhile, but I've finally decided to do it. Which is going to stink. I've given up enough. But I guess I'm giving up one more thing temporarily.
Anyway, I took a "bonus walk" (extra exercise this week) on Sunday, and I'm pretty sure that covered my calorie guffaw.
I'm achy and tired today. Thanks so much, Sjogren's...
It isn't going to stop me though.
The scale continues to be the worthless turd it always is. I refuse to give up. Cuz I'm ornery like that.
Have a good start to your week!

Count me in! I am the queen of eating and multitasking. I will start to be more mindful around food and in turn I imagine this would help me develop intuitive eating which is a 3-6 month goal for me. I hate tracking and I am trying to learn to listen to my body more!0

Thank you for starting this. I could use some more mindfulness these days!1

Still dealing with my skin itching and I'm wondering if it's stress induced eczema. Recent upheaval at work but I thought I was handling it just fine. It's much better than it was but I just feel an intermittent urge to scratch like when I've had mild poison ivy in the past.

At lunch today I mindfully ate my salad. I noticed what huge bites I was taking and slowed it way down. Turns out I didn't need to eat more than 2/3rds of it. Happy Tuesday3

I'm doing great watching and thinking about what I want to put into my mouth! I noticed I'm making better choices.1

Well, going full blown bipolar dieting with CKD since this might actually benefit me most due to my weird schedule. 5 days high carbs (~300-400g) moderate protein (100-150g), really low fat (20g or so), then 2 transition days back into low carbohydrate diet (high fat, <25g carbohydrate), then 1 week low carbohydrate in a deficit (moderate fat < 100g or so..."bastardized"/bodybuilder Keto with too much protein turning into body fat (sarcasm)).
At the very least, I know this is going to be fun for a while/learn some new strategies? Eating the same foods for 3 month or longer intervals gets stale/plateaued at times0 -

Rye- congratulations on your success!
It's going to be a great day today! I'm going to take Shep for a walk. Swing my kettle bell! Go sit in the hot tub and swim in the swimming pool. Then this evening we have a country western themed pool party! I'll try see if I can do some line dancing!
Have a great day everyone!
